1355580 - iOS 7.1 What's New not localized in French

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for iOS :: Localization, enhancement)

Description

Yesterday we asked to re-use existing strings for the urgent 7.1 release that needed to come out, and provided them. However, the What's New today seems to have come out in English - at least for the French localization (so I'm assuming for all).

From what I understand we made this release urgently because a critical bug fix was needed. Isn't it important we localize this content - especially when we have it? I know we don't usually localize dot one releases, but this information seems important to me in this particular cases.

On a side-note, it would have been nice to let me know there wasn't any time to re-use those strings (if that was the case), since I provided them asap :/

(sorry for CCing so much folks - not sure if this was more for marketing side or not so included more pp just in case)

Delphine, important flag thanks. It was pushed out immediately to help stop the issues, but I would like to still translate so we don't have a line of non-localized copy showing up for all users. 

Marketing typically goes in and makes the changes manually in iTunes. I can do that. Can you help us translate this line?

This update contains stability improvements and bug fixes.

Disregard, we've got the string translated from previous instances. Stefan has updated within the store. It will show up in 24hrs.

As per discussion on Slack - seems like this item was missed due to hectic release. Strings have now been added.
Many thanks for quick turnaround on this issue!

ni on :tchevalier: Can you please confirm here once you see the localized strings so we can close the bug? thank you!

The what’s new section is now localized on the Firefox install page, but not in the App Store update history (But I assume this can’t be updated). Closing the bug, thanks for the translation update
